On the fence about The Taken King (Destiny)

The Taken King looks like it will be a great addition to Destiny. The new subclasses look cool and what Bungie is saying sounds very promising. That said, I have one issue with The Taken King that are putting me on the fence about purchasing it at all and it is an entirely personal issue.

It's time.

When Destiny was on the way in, I had no problem dropping the money on a PS4, the game itself and the expansions. This is a game I wanted to play for a long time, as it promised me most of the things I wanted out of a video game. When it came out I took two days off from work to play it and I enjoyed it immensely. I still enjoy it immensely, but I feel like I lack the time to do it. Since I moved out from my parents, where I had all the time in the world to play games, I now have chores, a job, a social life and my significant other. And when I do have a long stretch of free-time, I almost feel obligated to play Destiny, to PvP, to finish bounties, to upgrade my guns and not play or do anything else in that spare time. Destiny is super fun and satisfying, but I don't want it to be the only thing I do.

Do you feel an obligation to spend your time playing Destiny or do you find ways to combat this? How do you manage your Destiny time compared to other hobbies? Is this stopping anyone else from wanting to purchase The Taken King?
